I came to this retreat feeling very anxious and exhausted after a burnout, and honestly, I was struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
From the very beginning, Jenny was incredibly attentive and caring. She took the time to meet with me before the retreat to really understand me, my situation, and what I needed, which already made me feel seen and supported. In the end, the retreat was just me, which made the whole experience even more personal. I had Jenny’s full attention, and everything felt truly tailored to where I was in that moment.
Over the three days, we did many activities, and while it was intense, it was exactly the right kind of intensity. Jenny was thoughtful in every detail and clearly wanted everything to go as well as possible. You could feel how much she genuinely cared. What amazed me most is how Jenny is able to do so many different things, and do them all so well. She has a very special way of combining care, intuition, structure, and presence. I left feeling so much better, more like myself again, and able to let go of things that were no longer serving me. I also left with concrete steps I can take back into my busy city life, which makes this experience feel lasting and practical, not just something temporary.
I truly couldn’t have chosen a better retreat for this moment in my life, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who feels they need support, reconnection, and space to breathe. – Roxana, April 2026

I am Jennifer, a Yoga & meditation instructor certified by YOGARENEW, a mindfulness coach, sound healing certified therapist and certified forest therapist. As well, the lead of the culinary experience at Solar Alegria, the retreat center I built over the past years
After being a digital product director for many years, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that modern life has on mental health. Both my team, colleagues, friends, and I dealt with stress, depression, lack of self confidence and struggle to articulate life. I could see how it eroded self-esteem and overall well-being. The demands of the workplace, family and society combined with the fast pace of our personal lives, leave little room for true self-care. I , as well, witness how the family and couples´ issues can generate truly challenging situations in life.
Over the past years, I dedicated myself to exploring various techniques and methodologies to manage stress, strengthen self-confidence and built a life aligned with self-values. I certified in Yoga, meditation and Reiki 4 years ago, studied dietary adjustments, coaching practices, and travelled around the world. These experiences transformed my life, helping me achieve a sense of balance and renewed self-esteem that I m proud to bring into others life. However, they also made me realise that human beings are complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
This journey inspired me to create a flexible way to design personalised retreats, in addition of group retreats, to unlock balance and well-being for all, through simple and effective techniques and practices.
Today, I work with more than 30 practitioners over the world to offer the most personalised journeys and unlock long lasting benefits in day to day life.
